Keeping in mind the famous 3-episode rule and seeing as most of the animes from the summer 2024 season have already aired 3 or even 4 episodes, let’s take a look at the 10 animes that have been dropped the most so far.
For this ranking we will be using the reliable and completely safe data from MyAnimeList, those statistics where anyone can say that they have “completed” the second season of Oshi no Ko even if it is still showing.
But even so, we’ll play around a bit and see which animes have the most “drops” in their status!
The Most Dropped Summer 2024 Animes with 3 Episodes
10th Place with 2,117 fans who dropped: ALYA
Alya is a romcom about a girl who is interested in a boy, and as a good tsundere she speaks sweetly in Russian while in Japanese she is aggressive.
She believes that the boy doesn’t understand Russian, but surprise! Because of a childhood friend, he learned and understands everything she says, but he plays dumb.
With all the hype surrounding the anime, it is expected that many people will be watching it and will not enjoy it and will decide to drop it.
9th Place with 2,217 fans who dropped: Tasuuketsu
What if your life hung in the balance of a twisted game? A self-proclaimed “Emperor” gathered five young people through anonymous messages and asked them, “Do you want to live?” But the game has only one rule: “Most die.” Saneatsu and Saaya, among the five trapped individuals, band together to defeat the Emperor and end the game once and for all.
At the moment this anime has a rating of 5 on MAL and 2.9 on Crunchyroll, showing that people aren’t really enjoying it.
8th Place with 2,260 fans who dropped: Senpai wa Otokonoko
A romance anime about a girl who ends up falling in love with her senpai, and confesses to her, but this senpai starts lifting her shirt and taking off her wig and says: “I’m a boy”.
Then the girl gets rejected but declares that she will become her senpai’s first love.
7th place with 2,273 fans who dropped: Isekai Shikkaku
I only watched the first episode because I liked the waifus, and right in the first episode there was already a good ecchi which indicates to me that the rest of the series should have many more scenes like this. It’s about a guy who dies to Truck-kun and goes to another world, but he just wants to die in peace and has no excitement for anything.
6th Place with 2,345 fans who dropped: Failure Frame
I don’t know anything about the anime so I’ll leave the synopsis for you:
Abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, Mimori Touka and her classmates have been summoned by the world’s resident goddess to serve as heroes. Fortunately, most of the students demonstrate incredible abilities upon arrival—except Mimori, whose abilities are at the very least a measly E-rank.
With no further use for him, the goddess banishes Mimori to a dungeon from which no one has ever returned alive. However, as it turns out, Mimori’s abilities are not so much useless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, even. If Mimori can just return to the surface, nothing will stop him from exacting his revenge.
5th Place with 2,667 fans who dropped: Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai
I haven’t watched it yet but I know it’s about a guy who gets a robot wife, here’s the synopsis:
Takuma is a single guy who does nothing but go to work and come home. Too tired to do chores, he decides to hire a robot to cook and take care of the house. “Mina-chan” is such a good housewife that Takuma jokes that she should become his wife.
Mina takes Takuma’s joke seriously, and slowly the two begin to do more things together, such as having a picnic outdoors. As time goes on, Takuma begins to fall in love with Mina, but can a human and a robot have an equal and loving relationship?
4th Place with 3,054 fans who dropped: Giji Harem
HOW? I remember people loving this manga so I thought a lot of people would like the anime, but there were a lot of drops.
SYNOPSIS:
Eiji Kitahama has a dream shared by many high school boys: to be popular and have a harem of girls fawning over him. Luckily for him, his new drama club student, Rin Nanakura, has decided to help him achieve this dream. Using her impressive acting skills, she takes on many personalities, from provocative to calm and collected, to play characters in Eiji’s simulated harem.
As her connection with Eiji deepens, Rin expands her repertoire, rapidly switching characters as they enjoy school life together in the club. Through her acting, the real Rin Nanakura tries her best to win Eiji’s heart.
3rd Place with 3,523 fans who dropped: Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta
Another anime that I haven’t watched, so here’s the synopsis:
“The strongest magician in the Maou army,” Ike is called. A demon capable of capturing a fort by himself. Eliminating enemies with immense magic, he is undoubtedly a monster impressed by friends and foes alike. However, he has a secret that he cannot tell other demons. “I am actually human, you know.” Using modern knowledge to keep his secret, he has come to be treated as a great commander and the driving force of the Maou army.
2nd Place with 4,537 fans who dropped: Isekai Suicide Squad
A lot of hype was made for this anime, the author of Re:Zero is involved in the script of this manga and the first 3 episodes were released at once and I watched them.
To be honest, I didn’t like it very much, Suicide Squad is something that I can’t get used to liking, no matter what media.
1st Place with 5,708 fans who dropped: Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan
And first of all, that weird anime that everyone went to watch because of one of the most successful marketing moves in anime history, attracting people who would never watch that anime in the first place.
I haven’t brought it to the site yet, but there were a lot of comments from Japanese people about how the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan anime isn’t interesting, how the jokes are bad and that there are “much better mangas to animate”.
Have you ever dropped any anime from this season?
